Cradle Snatcher Novels & Stories

Naina’s POV Next day my mood was off realizing how I am betraying this man. We ate our breakfast silently in our room as Avni was still sleeping. "I have bought something for you." "What?" I asked and he pulled out a box from his packet. "What's in this?" I asked but he asked me to open it. I opened it to see a beautiful crystal style bracelet. "Wow! I loved it. I have never seen something so beautiful,” I said as I wore it in my right hand.

The thumbnail showed Wren on the floor, a thin line of blood at the corner of her mouth, with Eleanor’s voice screaming in the background that Lumi had kicked her and wanted to kill the grandchild. I stared at the screen, the office around me suddenly fading out.

his deep rough voice sounded "Standing and watching it all happen, Lara heard a voice call her from afar Turning back she saw him , his hands stretched " let's go dear, our children are waiting for you Feeling caught in between , the little girl on the other side kept saying " stay with me Lara" While his hands were stretched waiting for her as well Hearing a baby's faint cry she made up her mind and took the hand and suddenly a very bright light hit her sight and with a blink .. Her eyes opened and she saw a familiar face Crane .... Did she a worried look on his face or were her eyes deceiveing her?

“They already have her. The sacrifice begins at moonrise. In the grove. You’ll never reach them in time.” Elara’s world tilted. Seraphine, still holding the child, shouted from behind. “She’s here! Safe!” But the woman’s smile widened, final, cruel. “Then who,” she whispered, “is in the cradle they just stole?” Elara spun. The cradle in the corner, brought from their room during the chaos, rocked gently. Inside: another bundle. Another decoy. The real child, still in Seraphine’s arms, wailed once, sharp, terrified.

"He's projecting a localized high-gravity field ahead of the ship to crush any resistance before he even lands." Jack looked up at the ceiling of the Cradle. Cracks were forming in the rock. Magma-colored light was bleeding through. "He's not here to arrest us," Jack said, drawing his weapon. The "Blood Hunter" inside him was snarling. The predator had arrived. "He's here to harvest." The ceiling exploded.

The storm collapses, the cave crumbling. The Hunter reforms beside me, gasping. "What did you *do*?" The ghostwolves wail as the Cradle dies, its light fading. The alpha snarls. *"You've killed our purpose!"* "No," I say, lifting the chord. It vibrates with the storm's final breath. "I've *stolen* it." The Weaver's thread still clings to my wrist, now glowing with the Cradle's resonance. The ghostwolves recoil. *"Madness. You'll draw her here!"*

“You’re sleeping with him.” I froze. “That’s none of your business.” “Which means yes.” She smirked through the line. “What do you need?” “I want you to keep an eye on him. Discreetly. Don’t make contact. Just… make sure he’s safe.” “From what?” “I don’t know yet.” I rubbed my temples. “But whoever killed Clara wanted him to suffer. That photo wasn’t just a message—it was bait.” “Bait for what?” “To see what he’d do. To see if he’d run.”

Her voice echoed oddly, splitting into two tones—hers and something lower, almost answering. She moved forward. The floor beneath their boots was a mosaic of glass and metal, depicting a lunar shape cradling a sun. Where she stepped, light bloomed underfoot and faded again behind her. The walls curved inward at the top, creating the impression of being inside a colossal sphere. At its center hovered a column of light rising from a pool of dark water. Zevran approached the pool’s edge. The surface reflected nothing. “What is it?” “The Cradle,” she said. “The Moon’s resting core. It holds what was left behind when the god fell.”

Just as the elders were voicing their opinions, the First Elder suddenly stepped forward and said solemnly, “Sir, there’s an important matter I have yet to report to you.” At his words, all the other elders fell silent. Norvin also looked at the First Elder. “What is it?” “Before this, a major incident occurred in Sumeria.” The First Elder said slowly, “A person in black kidnapped Luna Crestfall, who is Andrius’ wife, and brought her to Skyscraper Cliff to force Andrius to reveal the Klein family’s treasure.” The Klein family’s treasure?

The edge of the cliff had neither a stable foothold nor any object to grab. Situation looked so grim, Maira's gut crumbled onto itself. Rain and Nakiya rushed forward, but they weren't even close. Creed was now being dragged. However, the very moment he was pulled beyond the cliff's edge. He screamed inside his mind. "ATLAS!" The very next second, his left hand glimmered a jolting silver light. He thrusted his left arm onto the cliff's edge and in the next second an intimidating metal claw appeared.. The ground of the cliff was left with deep claw marks.
